lately this has become a problem.

-----

as promised, finally a more detailed project! i am so happy kuroshitsuji finally got a category of its own!
this was meant to be my real submission for the dark-wallie's contest but it didnt really turn out as creepy as i
originally intended =[
and the lighting effects and final touches of this wall were thanks to kit-chan's help! arigatou! you always help me so much XD
on another note the large thumbnails are gorgeous, thank you MT!

THE VECTOR | so this is a combination of two manga scans, you know the ones found in the first few pages ish. except
sebastian who is taken from a page in volume 9. I absolutely loved coloring this and i finally actually sat down and
took the time to paint instead of just smudging randomly. i even used the eraser tool and such to fix mistakes! although
if you think some parts are just pure black, they probably are (like grell's pants and ciel's jacket.) there's no
painting there =]. there was also a good amount of reconstruction needed to finish up some of the charas (you wont
believe how hard it was to make grell's knife.) in retrospect maybe ciel is too big and tall, but too bad XD. and i was
going to remove the blood but i had already flattened it so too bad

THE BACKGROUND | the vectored background is not nearly as detailed as i wanted it to be, i wanted roses in the shelves
and some creepy dolls on the ground and maybe a curtain but i got lazy obviously. ten thousand filter/blending effects
later, i got the wall to look like it had some depth (its really harder than you think to get depth into 2 dimensional
things). most notably, outerglow, emboss, gaussian blur (of course) and lightening effects render. also used a glass
filter to imitate the windows. i was going to do lightning but you would not believe how hard it is to do. i think the
frame color is off but believe me i tried many many colors --"

OTHER COMMENTS | omg i love sebastien with glasses. he was hotter in the scan though T_T. i have such a weakness for
dark twisted glasses-characters. and ciel frowns too much so i made his smile somewhat more evil which fit better i
think =]. i realized later that madam red wears red but i thought it would be too much with all the red on grell

somebody's on a roll here!
love your vectors, they're not as sharp as they usually are with others, and the colors are always pleasing to the eyes,
not really sure with that outer border and text though, but it does look empty without them

I might have people disagree with me on this, but I really, really like the border around the entire wallpaper, with the
attached flower and title of the piece. It makes the already nice wallpaper more polished and classy. Don't be afraid of
text and borders, people!

I personally think it's probably creepy enough with the eerie graves that can be seen through the window, and the blood
on the bottom of some of their outfits. If you're concerned about it though giving them a more shadowed look might help-
kind of like they are standing in a dark room or something. I think it looks nice as is, though.

Ahhh you're done with it! LOVELY! XD
The only thing that bugs me just a tiny bit is the border...i think it would have looked nicer without it...see how it
cuts Grell's hair?
But this wall is love! XD
Nice job! ;)

kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! it's finished! oh my god! it's fantastic!
everythink looks so cool! OH MY.....I LOVE IT! especially Grell and Sebastian XD
your works are really something!always so clean and detailed...perfect!
thank you very much for this work! now i just can't wait for the others!
+FAAAAV

Coooooool!
Another work of kuroshitsuji!
Grell and sebastian are looking awesome! XD
I always love the dark way you use on your walls!
The only complain I have would be the red pattern? on madame reds dress
but everything else is GREAT!

Hehe, Madame Red with blond hair and yellow-brown clothes? Very interesting take, I thought I could never picture her
otherwise. I like your style overall, but your background could use a little more work. Unless you intended it to look
that way?
